Wildlife in Sri Lanka

Once an unchartered island connected by a mere thin strip of land to India, Sri Lanka was and continues to be known as one of the most interesting wildlife travel destinations in the world. It's no secret that this tropical island is home to a variety of amazing animals and plant life including an entire range of indigenous ones.
